Holiday Craft: String Snowballs

Swap the glitz for an old-timey touch like a bowl of string snowballs. Tie thin red and white baker's twine around the knot of a fist-size balloon; wrap the string crisscross around the balloon until covered. Paint with the thinned glue mixture and let dry overnight; pop and remove the balloon.

3. Place snowballs on wax paper; pour glue or stiffening liquid into bowl (if using glue, add small amount of water to form consistency of heavy cream). Brush mixture onto balls to saturate twine; let dry.

4. Using a small pencil eraser or similar blunt object, press balloon away from twine so it no longer sticks to the twine. Pop balloon and pull out (use tweezers if needed).
